The acclaimed story of the little bird that won the nation’s heart
He’ll never live, the neighbors all said. But Robert, the abandoned quail chick would prove them wrong. Born on a kitchen counter in a house on Cape Cod, raised in a box surrounded by a lamb’s wool duster and a small lamp, Robert’s life began auspiciously.
“Along with BORN FREE and RASCAL, this true story of the little quail that loved people ranks among the great nature tales of all time.” — Boston Globe
